Re Ventilators for Scuttle-dashes on L to E Cars. Mr Johnson 28.9.12. TBB2/L28912. You asked me to get this matter settled when at Crowborough. I submitted Mr Spinney's designs to Mr Royce but he is not satisfied that the scheme suggested would be satisfactory. He has made certain suggestions, which I have passed on to Mr Spinney who will again go into the matter. T B Barrington Mr Barrington 2/10/12 CJ18/D21012 Ventilators. Something must be done in this matter. We cannot continue to send our L-E cars which scorch people's feet. Report to us how the matter stands at present. C.J. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
